Biography

Professor Maria Crotty is a clinical academic and rehabilitation physician. In 2001 she was appointed Professor and Director of Rehabilitation at Repatriation General Hospital which provides specialist rehabilitation (including stroke and spasticity) services in Southern Adelaide. Her research interests are in hip fracture, stroke rehabilitation and aged care health service research.

Qualifications

MPH, PhD, FAFRM (RACP), FAFPHM

Research and consultancy

Research interests

Professor Crotty works in a rehabilitation unit and has experience running pragmatic randomised controlled trials in hospital, community and aged care settings.  Her trials examine issues of importance to clinicians and policy makers working with disabled and older people so she has undertaken research on new models of care (home rehabilitation, transition care, day rehabilitation).  She has extensive experience in recruiting and working with older people with cognitive impairment.  In addition she was undertaken evaluations for the Commonwealth including the evaluation of the National Transition Care Program in 2007-8.  She has experience in synthesising evidence and has undertaken several Cochrane Reviews including a recent review on Virtual Reality in Stroke Rehabilitation.

Postgraduate research supervision

Professor Crotty is head of the Flinders University Rehabilitation Studies Unit and coordinates the Postgraduate Programs in Clinical Rehabilitation which provides opportunities for training in interdisciplinary approaches to disability in older people.  The course provides training to clinicians in Singapore and across Australia. Her clinical unit supervises 6 registrars in Rehabilitation Medicine.  She is currently a primary supervisor of 3 PhD students and co-supervisor of 3 PhD students.
